Course Development

Nov 27, 2012

My company wants courses that follow the same format, style etc for all courses I develop. Is it better to just start with the same slides and edit the content, etc or to start over each time? I have done both but not sure which seems more efficiecnt, still trying to get the process down. Any thoughts?

Hi John,

While it's always a matter of personal style and preference, I usually like to spend some time on UI styling and overall approach as well as laying out all the groundwork.

I like my player bare naked so I use master slides quite a lot; so setting up a couple of different layouts in addition to the menu works quite well. I tend to keep a couple of elements off the master slide (such as previous/next and audio buttons) because I may need custom behavior in some slides.

In extremely long and complicated projects with re-usable elements, I tend to make individual .templatestory files that plug right in to my courses.

Hope it helps,

Alex

It's would be best if you spend time setting up the Master slides like Alexandros stated up. Spending a little more time on the master slides to make sure you have the look you want will save you time in the long run. And if you need to make minor changes it would be easy to update 1 or 2 Master Slides then 20-30 different slides.
